Old Adirondack Furniture Company's History
The Old Adirondack Furniture Company traces its history to the Great Camps
of the Adirondack Park circa 1880 - 1929. Prominent industrialists established
their retreats in the Adirondack region in order to escape from the summer heat
of New York City, Philadelphia and Boston. Flat Rock Camp at the eastern edge
of the park, like other Great Camps, boasts many buildings whose functions resemble
those of a rural village: blacksmith, carpentry shop, green houses, tennis courts,
bowling alleys, teahouses etc
These industrialists' families would "summer" in the cool north and
the men would visit for extended weekends. The year round residents of the village
would have a long off-season from September to June when the camp owners were
not present. Off-season projects for the Flat Rock caretakers maintained the
properties and kept them busy. The foreman reproduced and refined the Adirondack
chair (originally from Westport, NY)
The furniture operation outgrew its original location at Flat Rock Camp and
first moved to the Grange Building in Willsboro, then to the vacant horse nail
factory in Keeseville, New York. Today, the modern 25,000 square foot production
facility is not far from the horse nail factory near to its Willsboro roots.
